Out of commission no more!!

Well we are now back up and running. Internet is on and we are in our home.
It seems as we have been climbing Mt Hood this last year but I think we are over the top and on the way down. We are settling in for a cold winters nap and ready to get comfy and cozy by the fire with the smell of a warm pie.
It has been a little difficult to get out of the "putting out the fire" mode when there seems to be so much still yet to do. But I am working on it. I need to realize that everything doesn't need to be done right now and that it will take me awhile to decorate and get ideas that fit our style. Especially when you have little furniture. Thats the fun part I guess.
I am getting excited for this weekend. I love Conference weekend. I love listening to the speakers send their messages to us in a way that it is so touching to each person in the way that they needed to hear it. I love the church and excited to start in our new ward which starts October 12th. The Candy Mountian Ward. We have over 1500 members in just 4 ward (thats counting the new ward formed Sunday). Can you believe it, 1500 + Members in the little city of West Richland alone. We have 3 wards meeting in our new building. The Young Single Adults ward, our old ward, the Lakes ward and the new ward, The Candy Mountian ward. There is already talk of the Stakes getting revised and we would be part of the Stake center the Temple is in. I love the area. The church is strong and the youth are great. And on top of it we have over 300 days of sunshine a year. Who could ask for more??
Yes, this is the pep talk to get everyone to move closer to us. For now I guess we'll have to settle with visits. Cant wait to see you all this weekend. Love Ya !!!

Out of commission

Well it is official, We are out of our apartment and into a hotel room for a few days. The Home has offically been late again and we hope to get our CO tomorrow or Thursday at the latest. And our aprtment managers want us out so they can get the apartment rented . I thought maybe they would give us a few more days but no is the final answer. Wish us well with our CO. Hopefully we will have a home this weekend.
